Ideas for the Boys' Room~

As I was looking through photos on my computer the other day, I ran across an old inspiration file (we're talking pre-Pinterest days here, kids) where I had saved a number of interior design photos.

It was interesting to see how my style has changed, and yet in some ways, has remained the same. I had a picture in that file that dates back to even pre-blogging days. I had seen it in a Better Homes & Gardens publication years ago, and loved it enough that I had to hold on to it.

This is the photo...a fabulous shared boys' bunk room. It is the photo that is basically the inspiration behind what I am trying to accomplish in my little boys' room.

You may recall this photo, that I posted a few months back. This is the in-progress built-in bunk bed that is in the boys' room. It is finished now, but not a whole lot else has been accomplished in that room - mostly because it is just me, and I am working on a fairly tight budget, so things are slow-going.

But when I ran across the BHG photo again, I remembered the cute built-in desks at the end of the beds. I'm thinking that this would be a perfect addition to the boys' room and would help to use the limited space wisely. So, I'm currently figuring out the best way to incorporate this idea into their room.

I am so grateful for creative people and for the inspiration we gain from one another. What a boring world this would be without that gift. Don't you agree?
